    For a long time, India has been actively developing strategic nuclear forces, Dream “hegemony in South Asia.” Since 1983, began implementing the “Integrated Guided Missile Development Program” has successfully developed the “Prithvi” and “Fire” in two series of ballistic missiles.

    In addition, in February this year, land and naval exhibition in New Delhi, the Indian army openly stated that in India, near the border between India and Pakistan could carry out the deployment of additional long-range precision strike missions, the “Brahmos” -2 ultra sonic cruise missiles, and hinted that more than the power of such missiles and similar weapons in China and Pakistan.

    Professor of the Second Artillery Command College Senior Colonel Shao Ling interview In an interview with reporters, said Ben Wang, “Brahmos” -2 can only say that research and development stage, but did not successfully developed. Have been successfully developed is the “Brahmos.”

    “Bula” refers to India’s Brahmaputra River, “Moss” is taken from Russia’s Moscow River. This is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles.

    Supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles and cruise missiles on the general meaning is different. In a general sense of the cruise missiles, such as the U.S. “Tomahawk”, China’s “sword -10″ are to subsonic flight, a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, using a turbo-fan engines. Some are subsonic anti-ship cruise missiles, using the turbo-fan engine; supersonic rocket engine is used is also a flight within the atmosphere, the speed very quickly.

    “Brahmos” is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, there are several models, such as ship-launched and air-launched and land-launched. Supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, fuel-consuming, it actually could only handle a range of 300 km.

    As the “BrahMos” is a use of supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, rocket engines, Russia accounted for technology components were relatively large proportion of the core technology is still part of Russia, and India is mainly involved in the development of some software.

    India is already equipped with the “Brahmos” cruise missile, but Russia did not use, because Russia has better weapons and equipment. India is not satisfied on this point, because Russia, as developed countries are not equipped with their own words, is bound to affect “Brahmos” exports.

    Indian experts claim that a joint South Asian countries against the Chinese dam plan

    Dec 10

    Posted by admin in Asia, China | Comments off

    Chinese dam planIndia’s “Peace and Conflict Studies” website December 7 article, the original question: China’s “water weapon”

    The recent discord between India-China relations, India has the media on climate change, a surprisingly hot-spot issues keep quiet. On the surface, these two views on climate change in developing countries is consistent. But in-depth study will find that climate change is perhaps the greatest potential of India contention.

    Glaciers in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Asia, the majority of the river water source. These rivers are the lifeblood of the South Asian subcontinent. Global warming in the next 50 years is expected to rise 2-5 degrees. As a barometer of global climate conditions, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will be so. As the glaciers melt, rivers will face short-term flood-related. Glacier melt will substantially reduce river flows in northern India, exacerbating the shortage of resources and competition issues, will also affect the Himalayan river systems flows through 11 Asian countries.

    But China is not affected. China’s climate change and how it affects the eastern provinces, as well as how to change the South have more autonomy. Control of the river on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Chinese the right to use and diversion of the eastern provinces — whether to increase water supply, hair more electricity, or by water punishment in South Asia. These acts would undermine the South Asian subcontinent-dependent water supply, affecting the South Asian geopolitics.

    Because of Water Resources and South Asia subcontinent in water control and supply of already tense political inseparable, China’s “water weapon” should not be overlooked. Climate change has strengthened China’s influence in South Asia. China and India (and other South Asian countries) in this area will make any conflict overshadowed by India and China border conflict.

    India and China have signed the memorandum of understanding to establish a “joint mechanism for expert-level”, during the rainy season every year to exchange the Brahmaputra and the Sutlej and the hydrological data. But given the current extent of the challenge, need to work with China on the basis of the Indus Water Treaty, the Treaty entered into more extensive and effective early response to the allocation of water resources, diversion and mutual communication. Such an agreement should be a geo-political tensions in northern India to strengthen the basis for trade.

    If China’s reluctance to establish formal institutions to manage this problem, along with South Asian countries would oppose it, because these countries are subject to China’s “green weapon” damage. In water this issue, the estranged neighbors must unite to revive otherwise it will split SAARC.

    At present India is the “glorious” to improve purchase 99 fighter engine, which is valued at 750 million U.S. dollars, but so far only two companies-Eurojet and General Electric to participate in the tender. Government of India is the technical performance of these two kinds of engines for evaluation. Although the above two companies are trying to win the contract win, but the final decision will depend on the Indian Defense Ministry.

    Some analysts believe that, due to a variety of reasons, the Indian Air Force may be to make concessions and accept GE’s F414 engine. One important reason is price, the European jet engine provided by EJ200 engine is much more expensive than the F414. In addition, the United States and the increasingly close military ties with India, also gave more opportunities for U.S. companies to win the deal.
